holidays

Several years ago I began a programme of private courses and holidays with a partner Chris Mounsey of Balkan Tracks. To this we have now added weekend breaks in my home town of Buxton in Derbyshire.

I call the whole programme ‘360 Degrees’ because the aim is to take the broadest possible approach to looking at wildlife and nature. Birds are always at the heart of our activities, but we also enjoy butterflies and spiders, flowers and fungi, reptiles and mammals; in short, all parts of nature. Yet it is not only that we look at everything, we also explore their role in the cultural lives of the area. The key is to take our time, to savour it all without regard for targets or species lists; and from this, hopefully, will flow the richest, most creative reponse to place and nature. If you want more information each image of the separate 360 Degree destinations has a click on PDF attached. Or click the holiday tab and you’ll find a contact form.
